I have been doing absolutely nothing the past few days, and
I'm just enjoying my easter-vacation. Except for doing a
little graphics: I took this pic I made a while ago ,
added a few nasty details (like shadow, and a little
nudity), and put it out. It's at my so-called
homepage. The exotic details is meant in a humorous way, I'm
no pervert ;)

Tomorrow I'm going to Oslo airport with aj, to meet Julian
and his father. Actually it's only a few hours from now, I
have to get up at 5am. I'm looking forward to it!

The computer test today went ok, except for the delphi part
of it being based on some earlier things we were supposed to
do in an assignment, like "do what you did in module 6".
Module 6... wtf do I know about module six, but I looked
over my shoulder at my neighbour's screen, and I
think I got the idea. TOO SIMPLE!!

Then laid down, and slept 5 hours (which were supposed to be
20 minutes). That really hurt my schedule. We need to extend
the day by... hm... another 24 hours, and why the fuck do I
_have_ to waste so much time sleeping??

Had a few problems with php4 rc1, it didn't compile (DIR
were not defined in one of the source files), and too tired
to find out whats wrong. Well, guess php3 have to do for a
few more days then... bah!

The german test were today, I can't say it went good, and I
can't say it went bad either... at least not with my low
expectations :)

Anyway, I've started to like php. Actually I could have
learned it a long time, but I were just being stubborn, and
wanted to write everything myself in C. Actually, in the
first web-application I made, I even made the database
myself, not very good, but very educational. I've also now
(if I convert to php), got lotsa code to scrap, and it
actually makes me feel a bit sad, but the way I was going
with my w.a. stuff, was towards php anyway, just got to
admit there exist better code than mine ;)

Well, at least I've learned a lot by my cgi coding in C, now
I may get some time making real applications, like gnome
stuff (I'm very eager to really get into gnome development
=), and kernel stuff (have to find whatever bug crashing my
machine all the time ;). But the big question is: do I have
the time? Arrgghh.. if it hadn't been for the
school!

I see I've got my first certification as apprentice today,
by X-Virge alias Julian, and even though I probably don't
deserve it; thanks :) Im gonna spend the whole
easter-vacation with him, as linux crew on the Gathering, and I'm sure
thats gonna be cool. Man, going all the way from USA to
Norway on a computer event, and not even get paid... But fun
it is, and sure very educational too!!

Went a trip to sweden today, with AJ, Stian and
Leif-erik, to buy Redbull (it has a to high caffeine percent
to be legal in Norway). Unfornately, I'm damn broke, and
couldnt afford any, my only kind of income at the time
being, is lending money from AJ, but only until Linux Løsninger starts being
profitable. where
I guess I must start paying back ;)

And btw, bonobo simply rules! Yeah, and computer test at
school tomorrow, finally one that's gonna be easy. Guess
that was it for today...

Didn't get much else done today, were damn tired, because I
spent last night studying. Tomorrow is the german-test. I
suck at that language, and may get 1, which is the grade you
get if you used all germany-lessons surfing at the net. Oh
well.. I'll try to pass.

Installed redhat 6.2, and compiled gnome from cvs ...much
harder than expected, since it seemed like the newest libxml
changed its structures, so I had to go trough tons of code,
changing ->childs and ->root to ->children. Haven't
noticed
any big crashes yet (except for in nautilus), so I guess it
was the Right Thing To Do (tm).

I have way to much to do these days, and I wish the time
could
just stop for some minutes, so I could get some
sleeep...

Also started working on a new icon-pack for gnome,
cartoonish style... looks pretty good, I'll put it out
someplace if/when it's done.

Have a big test tomorrow in nynorsk (alternative norwegian
language), so I guess I should read some!

Discovered advogato.net today.
Really looking forward to be the next Allan Cox, now that I
have a diary and everything... ;)

Anyways, this day started with me having a speech about
american slavery at school. It went really bad, because of
my maxium 2 hour sleeping policy the last days.

Gnuified the RGBDS(rednex gameboy development system)
makefiles, so that I can start on a gameboy programming
school project (in linux :). I'm wondering if otakunozoku
will accept the changes, because they seem very windows
specific. Have fallen in love with gameboy hardware, now all
I need is a gameboy.

Made some changes to the long delayed in-development
LiLo
website (my fault), now people is starting to get really
impatience... did also try to setup a cvs server for LiLo
projects, but got a little lost, will try again when Im not
in the zombie state-of-mind.

I think I now have convinced the majority of the LiLo
work
team with going with 100% gpl policy, and opening cvs server
to public. When I get it working that is...

Im so bored with school, that Im seriously considering
dropping out. The only thing stopping me is that I know I
will regret it later...

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser
code is live. It needs further work but already handles most
markup better than the original parser.
